Swarthmore is a small borough built around Swarthmore College and its wooded campus. Victorian and stone homes sit under big trees on quiet, hilly streets. The town center is a few blocks by the train station. LiteMovers has moved Swarthmore families, faculty, and students since 2007. The college calendar shapes many of our moves here.

Students and Faculty
Students move in late August and out in May. We pack what goes home and store the rest in our King of Prussia warehouse. New faculty and staff often arrive from out of state. Our long distance movers bring them in. See our student moving and storage.
Victorian and Stone Homes
Swarthmore’s older homes have porches, winding stairs, and plaster walls. We lay runners, guard door frames, and pad banisters. Large pieces are measured, and some come apart. Our packing crews wrap antiques, books, and art with care.

Parking and Hilly Streets
The town center has limited parking and steady foot traffic. Some streets near campus are narrow and steep. We set cones the night before and load early. A spotter stays on the sidewalk. For steep streets, we send a shorter truck.
Schools and Downsizing
Swarthmore is in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, so summer books three to four weeks out. Downsizing from a large home? Our senior moving team sorts, packs, and sets up. Leftovers go to donation or junk removal.

Swarthmore Moving Questions
Do you move Swarthmore College students and faculty?
Yes. Students move in late August and out in May, and faculty and staff turn over around the school year. We handle dorms, apartments, and faculty homes. We store student belongings in our King of Prussia warehouse over the summer.
What are Swarthmore homes like to move?
Many are Victorian and stone homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, with porches, big trees, and winding stairs. Some streets near the college are narrow and steep. We plan the truck size and the path on the estimate.
Is parking hard near the Swarthmore town center?
Yes. The small downtown near the train station has limited parking and steady foot traffic. We set cones the night before, load early, and keep a spotter on the sidewalk.
Which school district is Swarthmore in?
The Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Families moving for the school year book summer and late August dates three to four weeks ahead. Spring and fall are easier.
Do you move families who relocate for jobs at the college?
Often. New faculty and staff arrive from across the country. Our long distance team brings them in, and our warehouse holds belongings until housing is ready.
How do you protect older Swarthmore homes?
We lay floor runners, guard door frames, and pad banisters and newel posts. Plaster walls and old hardwood need care. Large pieces are measured, and we take apart what will not make a turn.
